OK, so far from this episode we've got some funky stuff going on. First, Janeway has this shuttle we see in the trailer, and it IS of a different type. Her registry is SC-4. You guys figure that out.
This shuttle also happens to have "Armoring". Her entire hull can be covered by metallic looking armor that comes out of nowhere, and apparently can withstand the force of a Negh'Var's disruptor blast. If anyone saw the TV Show "Viper", and saw how the Dodge Viper transformed into the Defender, then this is exactly what the "Armor" on the SC-4 looked like.
Also, the Nova class ship is commanded by Harry Kim. It is the USS Rhode Island. Her registry was barely visible, but I couldn't see it.
More later...

The fleet appears in the last 5 minutes. It has 2 Galaxies, a Miranda, a Prometheus, a Nebula, an Excelsior, and an Akira from what I saw. A registry that looked like NCC-71xxx was on one of the Nebulas in the last shot.

As for the armor plating, I thought it was pretty cool. The hardware for it must be intergrated into the ship's hull. Perhaps at that shield emitter that Klingon was so interested in. As for Voyager, they had to build stuff onto the hull.
What I didn't like was the transphasic torpedoes ability to take out an entire cube. But I also relized the Borg didn't know about it, and couldn't adapt. I guess that's why they were able to destroy 39 ships at 359, because of Picard's knowledge. Needless to say though, one torpedo blowing a cube to bits?
Finally, Kim's ship the Rhode Island. I wish they could of given us a little more. Registry, class, whatever. It looks like a Nova, but the deflector dish and the one on the saucer is different.

Spoiler $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ I'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned that there were NO new ships in this episode, in contrast to Sternbach's interview which stated that there would be.
There were, of course, modified ships, such as Harry's Nova and Adm. Janeway's shuttle. There were also re-uses of several CGI ships such as Galaxies, Excelsiors, Defiants, Mirandas, and the Prometheus.
AND there were no Enterprise promos (at least not on the UPN station I was watching.
Oh, one last thing. I thought the episode sucked.

Okay, this bugs me, so I finally need to comment on it. The word is not "could of". It's "could've", as in "could have". "...could have given...". Basic English grammar.

Methinks B5's "Endgame" episode was better....and it wasn't even a series finale...not even a season finale... Just a little partisan snipe
